Yesterday I learned how to play Pai Gow Poker. It seems as though you end up breaking even a lot. As said before, this might equal many free drinks!

I thought that was the big theatre across town by the weird small punk rock clothing store that always seemed pretty awesome.

as in two different venues. I guess i was wrong?

there was a coffee shop somewhere right around there that had a sold-the-fuck-out weakerthans / dashboard something or other show once... i had no idea who this dashboard band was so when i showed up for the weakerthan 30 minutes pre-show and saw the line stretching all the way around the block I was very disappointed and none too happy.

maybe that place still does shows?

It's not a town for kids.

Agreed. Part of the reason I like it.

That being said, Jillian's seems like the best bet (pun semi-intended) for the all-ages route. Given the possible future of Jillian's, that seems to be up in the air. Shame that. I've been in there. Seems (seemed) like an ideal venue.

there were tons of punk kids in vegas a few years ago.
there are shitloads of surrounding communities (henderson is where I spent most of my time with cool kids)

damn. I miss those guys.

Yeah, but a lot of people are going to be without vehicles, and so trying to do much in the outlying areas is kind of pointless.

It's the rainy season in March. Why do you want us all to die?!?!?

did you miss the memo? punk is about 21+ bars and noise laws and clean bathrooms. risk isnt punk anymore; risk is just about dice and little plastic pieces and cards with cannons on them.

Yes, this!

P.S.- Can't we all just carpool from motels on the strip/split taxis? That's not a big deal at all. All ages or bust!

looks like i probably won't be able to go to this, either.

minerva postponed her wedding... so i can't go to the states just for this, as much as i would have loved to. the whole purpose of this trip was to go to her wedding, be in her wedding, and then go to vegas to partay with all my favorite ppmb-ers. but now... looks like there won't be a trip for little livy at all anymore. very sad.

Oh no! I was looking forward to seeing you again...relatively soon!

Why did she postpone her wedding? I hope everything is alright!

LivyStar · « **Reply #393 on:** August 09, 2007, 11:46:54 AM »

i know, this is really bumming me out.

money. they're still getting married on february 29 but they can't afford her dream wedding at the moment. so they're just going to use the money they have saved up for now to go spend some time in vegas(!)... just the two of them. which is still great. she said they'll have the big fancy wedding when they can afford it.

so she'll be in vegas, you guys will be in vegas, but... just to go to vegas? i don't think i can afford that trip... it would be different if the wedding were still happening, but now? ugh.

also, i feel rather shitty that this affects me. it's not about me. it's about them, their wedding, and i am sad. pathetic much? well, i'm sad for a lot of reasons though. who knows if i can actually attend the wedding when it happens, assuming school, money, and whatnot will get in the way, and i'm also still sad tha ti can't go to adam and jenna's wedding. and when i think about all of that, it bums me out that there are so many of you guys that i won't get to see again for a while. sad.

Livy, do you know how many weddings happen in Vegas everyday? If you need to go to a wedding in order to justify a Vegas trip I am sure that we can find one for you to attend. They usually only take a couple minutes anyway. Besides, no wedding will just give you more time to hang out with your favorite PPMB'ers!

ELVIS Wedding!!

LivyStar · « **Reply #396 on:** August 10, 2007, 12:31:27 PM »

yes, but i was going to skip school for this, and the wedding of my one my best friend's would be worth it, in every way. any other random wedding just wouldn't be the same.

and that elvis wedding was supposed to be my wedding. with my ex. we talked about it. then he went ahead and had the elvis wedding 2 months after we broke up. without me. so for me the whole elvis wedding thing has been tainted. thanks. i'd much rather go see someone get married in one of those alien chapels, like the one on csi with french stewart that one time...

it's still early, things may change, i may still be able to go to this vegas party... we shall see.

Mrs. Alive · « **Reply #397 on:** August 10, 2007, 03:27:33 PM »

Haha, Livy, maybe Adam and I could have a second wedding, with Elvis, just for you.

I fixed the heater in French Stewarts vacation home once. He collects bugs. There are cases of them all over his walls.
